Setup Guide

1. Powering the Main Unit

The main weather station unit can be powered using the included EU power adapter or by batteries (not included). For continuous backlight and full functionality, using the power adapter is recommended.

• Using Power Adapter: Connect the power adapter to the DC 5V port on the side of the main unit and plug it into a wall outlet.
• Using Batteries: Open the battery compartment on the back of the main unit and insert 3 x AA batteries (not included), observing polarity. Note that the backlight will only stay on for 10 seconds when powered by batteries to conserve energy.

2. Setting up the Wireless Outdoor Sensor

The wireless outdoor sensor transmits temperature and humidity data to the main unit. It requires 2 x AA batteries (not included).

• Open the battery compartment on the back of the outdoor sensor and insert 2 x AA batteries, observing polarity.
• Select a channel (1, 2, or 3) using the "CHANNEL 1/2/3" switch inside the battery compartment. Ensure this matches the channel selected on the main unit if you are using multiple sensors.
• The sensor is IPX4 splash-resistant but not waterproof. Install it in a protected location away from direct rain and sunlight for accurate readings and longevity. The maximum transmission range is 60 meters.

3. Initial Synchronization (DCF Radio Control)

The weather station automatically synchronizes the time and date via the DCF radio signal. This process usually occurs daily at 1:00, 2:00, or 3:00 AM.

• Place the main unit in an area with good reception, ideally near a window.
• The DCF icon on the display will flash during synchronization. Once successful, it will remain solid.
• If the signal is weak, you can manually force reception by long-pressing the "UP" button.
• The station also supports automatic Daylight Saving Time (DST) adjustment.

  • Avoid large metal objects or electronic devices that might interfere with the wireless signal.
• Incorrect Time/Date:
  • Ensure the DCF signal icon is solid, indicating successful synchronization.
  • If the DCF signal is weak, try repositioning the main unit or manually setting the time.
• Inaccurate Readings:
  • Ensure the outdoor sensor is placed in a shaded, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
